Bombay Sapphire - Room 8 in Krakow

super_wide_alvenia700.jpg This week James W Griffiths and Sophie Venner have set off to Krakow in Poland where they are building the set for "Room 8", the second Bombay Sapphire short film to start shooting. It is truly winter over there with serious snow and temperatures below zero. The Alvenia studio where they are based is extraordinary. They look like they are on Star Wars! The actors Tom Cullen from last year's roaringly successful "Weekend:http://www.weekend-film.com/home/" and Michael Gould will make their way over on Tuesday and the shooting starts on Wednesday. The story is set in an Eastern European prison where nothing is quite as it seems. A cleverly crafted conceptual drama thriller from James, this is bound to surprise us all.

BIFA Crocodile and Baby

BIFA has had a great idea in this period of Coronavirus lockdown - they have made all the BIFA nominated and winner shorts over the past 10 years available to view for FREE. How lovely to see BABY and CROCODILE up there and among such an exciting batch of films - great to be able to watch them all.

Films in LFF2019

This year my highlight of the festival was going to NFT1 to listen to an interview with Céline Sciamma, fabulously talented French writer director of Water Lilies, Tomboy, Girlhood (writer of the animated My Life as a Courgette) and in this year’s festival - her period piece Portrait of a Lady on Fire.

First Time Directors

I have been thinking about the stigma and the draw surrounding this title. All my feature projects - and I guess my shorts too in terms of “feature status” - are pretty much with first time directors. Sometimes I long to be at the stage where I can be working with more established directors – albeit them also being the first-timers I’m working with, only them (and me) having MADE that first feature!!! –. Get me out of perpetual development please…
